Air Lift 1000 Air Suspension Kit 60815

tres bien facile a installer

las instale en un auto susuki

So far it seems to be okay! The install was a bit more difficult that originally thought but that was because I got cheap and didn't want to buy a bigger drill bit! I figured I could use a round file the rest of the way! Well, I couldn't find the file and so I ended up using the drill bit that was just one size to small and just went through it over and over until it fit. I used the separate air valve method! There were some existing holes just behind the mud flaps that I used. It took about two hours to do one side. Then I ran out of daylight so the next day I did the other side. But first I went to buy a right size drill bit. Then i only took me half the time. You'll have to remove the existing bump stop! Four this, you will need a 14mm socket with extension so no need to do any cutting or the rubber bump stops. I gave it 4 stars for now but when I take that long road trip in a few weeks where I'll be carrying a lot of gear in the back over some high mountain passes, I'll see how these work out and will upgrade to 5 stars if it works out well.I took some photos of how it looks and where I mounted the valve stems but I guess there is no way to upload them on a review. Oh well!Update: 21 NOV, 2014: Took the van with the air bags on a 1000 mile road trip. On the last half of the trip, we had about 600-700 lbs, maybe more loaded in the rear with the bags inflated to about 30 PSI. The bags kept the van from sagging all the way down like the last time we carried that much weight. You can still notice it dropped but not a significant drop. With the extra weight, the van still handled okay coming down mountain passes and when we hit small bumps.Overall, these are a very inexpensive way to add carrying capacity to a minivan. Well worth the purchase and not too difficult to install!

I had these installed in the rear springs of a 2014 Honda Pilot to assit in reducing sagging when towing an RV trailer.I have used them for the past 18 months and towed over 35000KM. They still hold their pressure with no issues. I have found them to be easy to adjust and not only did they achieve the reduction in sag I needed but they have also reduced any porpising that occured.

Installation was a bit more involved than I had anticipated. I watched the video e-trailer posted online. They made it look like a breeze. While it wasn’t that difficult just following what they did, it did take me a couple of hours from start to finish. But it was well worth it!All of this is based off of 28 pounds of pressure in my air bags. I haven’t yet driven it with 35 psi, and I’m tempted not to. I don’t want to blow out one, or both of the bags.Initial impressions: the ride is much smoother. Especially over large dips in the road. There’s no more rear end bottoming out when I have people in the 3rd row. And even unloaded the ride is much better.Pulling out of parking lots: the rear stays level even when one wheel drops lower than the other. That’s because I am using just a single valve stem instead of using both that were included in the kit. Because I have them both linked together, when one compresses, the other inflates allowing it to keep the rear level. This is great for potholes, unlevel driveways and speed bumps.On choppy sectioned concrete roads: you know the kind. The ones that clunk clunk every few feet. I find my van is much more level and hops less than it used to.If you’ve ever been to Texas you’ll know how our bridges are on freeways. Huge bump at the beginning and end of every bridge on every interstate. Soaks them up like nothing, loaded and unloaded. Since these take the place of the original bump stops and fills the gap between the frame and control arm, there isn’t a huge slam like there used to be.Handling, it’s just more stable. Like by a lot. You’d be amazed. I’m an Uber driver which means that sometimes I’m hauling 6 adults at a time, most of the time men, and that alone is 1,200+ pounds, not including myself. In the past if one person moved their arm in the 3rd row it would wobble the whole vehicle at speed and make it feel like we would flip over. Nerve racking. Last week I had 5 guys, all 300+ pounds on a 3 mile trip. They blew out my new shocks. In 3 whole miles. Which is why I bought this kit. I just bought those shocks 10k ago. They’re supposed to last at least 50k. A pair of shocks costs the same as this kit. So if I can get even 20k out of my new shocks, this kit will have paid for itself!Tire wear: that’s to be determined. I’ll update this in a few thousand miles. But due to the weight of passengers in the back, it lifts the front end up and squats the rear. This causes outside tire wear. I was unaware that would happen. I thought it was my alignment, then assumed it was my front struts. I can’t tell you how many times I had this aligned and how many tires it’s burned through the outside edges on every 5k miles. This kit supposedly corrects that, but I can’t comment on it just yet. I’ll just post an update in a few weeks to let everyone know if it actually makes a difference.Fair warning, this kit does not increase your load carrying capabilities! It only keeps the factory maximum payload level.
